I absolutely do not understand why when you catch a gazillion illegals on a weed farm full of child workers, how the very first person to get absolutely ass-reamed in court is not the guy running this slavery-lite operation.

Asian women are usually prettier on average simply by not being obese. I went to South Korea, China and Singapore. It's as if they hunt fat women for sport over there. You don't see them on the street unless they're completely past menopause.

That reminds me: Brendan Eich (CEO of Mozilla) was forced to resign BC he donated to the trump campaign.

Also do you mean 3 for each side?
Left:
- James Watson (Nobel prize for discovering DNA double helix structure): Refused to deny link between race and intelligence. Said that he was gloomy about the prospects of Africa, because all western efforts to help Africa advance were based on the premise that their intelligence is equivalent to westerners, even though all testing suggests otherwise. Lost academic titles and was ostracized from scientific community. Had to sell his Nobel gold medal.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46856779.amp

- Tim Hunt (Nobel Prize for discoveries in mitosis): Said that the problem with girls in the lab is that they cry when you criticise them and they fall in love with their male counterparts which leads to emotional entanglements. Same deal as Watson.

Quote:
"It's terribly important that you can criticise people's ideas without criticising them and if they burst into tears, it means that you tend to hold back from getting at the absolute truth.

"Science is about nothing but getting at the truth and anything that gets in the way of that diminishes, in my experience, the science."

- James Demore (Google engineer): Sent out a memo on gender differences in the workplace that tried to explain why gender differences in professions are in line with the natural interests between men and women. Was fired for "perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes".
The cancelling of Jordan Peterson plays strongly into this one.

Also Trump (obviously) Joe Rogan, Roseanne Barr, J.K. Rowling (the list is endless)

Right:
- Dylan Mulvany/Bud Light boycott (Transgender activist/media personality): Spurred on by Bud Lights media campaign that tried to rebrand Bud Light (lmao) to a more liberal/progressive audience. Arguably this was more a brand boycott than a cancellation of Mulvany.

The only cancellation on the right wing that is comparable imo that was relatively high profile and based on the same principle of using overwhelming institutional control to punish perfectly legal and sensible speech/opinions (that I could find) was The Dixie Chicks. In 2003 they said they did not support the invasion of Iraq. That was 2 years after 9/11 and thus it wouldn't even have been a partisan issue between dems and repubs. And right-wingers in the US today also do not support the invasion of Iraq, so it isn't even the same people.

The right is only now starting campaigns to cancel certain individuals. And targets they have picked this far are pretty hard to argue against.

- People who made posts mocking Charlie Kirk's murder. (Many of them actually committed crimes in the process like assaulting people at vigils or violated the rules of the uni they go to)

- Hassan Piker who has repeatedly called for violence against conservatives and supported terrorist groups and acts.

- Destiny who also called for violence against conservatives.

I'm sure there's more but this is already too long.

No he won't. He was losing ABC millions a year. They just got the perfect excuse to get rid of him. He was a dinosaur with no audience. Not only did he do some objectively horrendous shit that completely warrants the company to let him go, the case against him violating FCC regulations is also very strong.
